But the decisions that she makes, you're like, oof, I don't know about that one.

And that is really fascinating to watch.

And also she is an older woman, a woman in her late 70s who is coming out of retirement to become a lawyer again.

And that is a huge part of what the show is about.

and about the idea of older women feeling invisible and kind of in her way, getting away with things and taking advantage of the fact that she can seem invisible and unassuming to do kind of devious things.

Like no one would expect this kindly old lady to actually be doing nefarious schemes, like spying on people and stealing their emails and stuff.

And that aspect of the show is really fascinating.

And, um,

I just really like it.

It's well into season two at this point.

It's become one of our favorite shows over time because I just think Kathy Bates' performance as a character has ended up being really interesting.

And I love her.

So, yeah, I recommend it.

It's really nothing like Matlock, though.

It is a really strange show about Kathy Bates being...

a liar, a lying, scheming person.

And she's very good at that.

I mean, I'm sure you guys have seen Misery or at least heard about it.

And like some of her other famous performances as characters where you sort of understand them, but you're like, whoa, you are scary.

And she has some great moments on the show.
